Kira

Belgian Shepherd · Female · Young · 3 years

Date of Notice: September 1, 2023 Breed: Belgian Shepherd Cross Characteristics: Vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed Unfortunately, I had an irresponsible family. They had me and my brother Apollo, but things got a bit tough… They had to leave the house where we were, and they couldn't keep us… But why did they want us if they didn't have a safe life for themselves?? It's very sad how irresponsible they were! Now, because of this, we are at the shelter waiting to be adopted. We are Belgian Shepherd crosses, very devoted to our handlers and super social with other dogs.

D.N.: 1 setembro 2023 Raça: cruzada de Pastor Belga Características: vacinada, desparasitada e castrada Infelizmente tive uma família irresponsável. Tinham-me a mim e ao meu irmão Apollo, mas sem condições algumas…Tiveram que sair da casa onde estavam e não tinham como nos manter… Mas porque é que nos quiseram se não tinham uma vida segura para eles próprios?? A irresponsabilidade é muito triste! Agora, por isso, estamos no abrigo à espera que nos queiram. Somos cruzados de pastor belga, muito dedicados aos nossos tutores e super sociáveis com outros cães.

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a medium-sized young adult belgian shepherd dog waiting at Bianca APS in Portugal.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇵🇹Adopting from Portugal

Portuguese rescues coordinate extensively with European rescue networks for cross-border placements, especially for galgos and podencos. Sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID are standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kira, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kira?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bianca APS handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kira on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kira if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bianca APS will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Kira already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Kira isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Bianca APS early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kira and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (PT). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
